031 Reducing the Household Overwhelm with The Organised Mum (Gemma Bray)

One of the inescapable facts of life is cleaning, tidying and keeping our homes organised. Not just the physical act of doing the housework, but also the mental load of keeping everything running smoothly which still lands disproportionately on the shoulders of women.

Today I’m joined by Gemma Bray, a Sunday Times bestselling author who has helped revolutionise the lives of thousands of people by helping them structure their housework and their daily lives. Through Organised Mum Method and Organised Time Method, Gemma helps parents around the world free themselves from the overwhelm.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- How to stop struggling with the images of perfection we are bombarded with every day

- How to calm your nervous system from overwhelm

- How to address the root cause of the problem rather than addressing the symptoms

- The importance of accepting that good enough is good enough and that perfect doesn't exist

- How to define your current priorities

- How to make the difference between motivation and momentum

- How to start with little things and eventually build a new habit into your life

You can't take away the household chores, but you can find a way to feel more in control of your life.  Working smarter, not harder can help to free us up for other things such as more time for rest, exercise, for kids or hopefully a combination of all of those things!
